This is why I listen to "blasphemous" death and black metal. To challenge the power of the Christian far right and the lack of separation between church and state. ON SCOTUS NOT UPHOLDING ROE VS. WADE:.To dudes randomly spreading their seed around.It takes TWO to tango, it takes two to square dance, it takes a sperm to impregnate and egg to make an embryo.Hold deadbeat dads accountable. . DUDES: Ready for a vasectomy and to pay child support? Child support is about three quarters of the fathers income.
I have so match to say about ON SCOTUS NOT UPHOLDING ROE VS. WADE and no time to say it.
Dear pro lifers: Make a distinction between a FETUS and a BABY as you don't really care about babies when they're born.
There will be more journal entries about this later.
Not my words but definitely my feelings:
I'm pro-choice & pro-life.
I'm
pro-Barbara who found outggv at her 20 week anatomy scan that the
infant she had been so excited to bring into this world had developed
without life sustaining organs.
I'm
pro-Susan who was sexually assaulted on her way home from work, only to
come to the horrific realization that her assailant planted his seed in
her when she got a positive pregnancy test result a month later.
I'm
pro-Theresa who hemorrhaged due to a placental abruption, causing her
parents, spouse, and children to have to make the impossible decision on
whether to save her or her unborn child.
I'm
pro-little Cathy who had her innocence ripped away from her by someone
she should have been able to trust and her 11 year old body isn't mature
enough to bear the consequence of that betrayal.
I'm
pro-Melissa who's working two jobs just to make ends meet and has to
choose between bringing another child into poverty or feeding the
children she already has because her spouse walked out on her. (Maybe
one of those is a minimum wage job at Hobby Lobby, and she can't afford
birth control because her employer went to the Supreme Court to make
sure her insurance plan doesn't cover it.)
I'm pro-Brittany who realizes that she is in no way financially, emotionally, or physically able to raise a child.
I'm
pro-Emily who went through IVF, ending up with SIX viable implanted
eggs requiring selective reduction in order to ensure the safety of her
and a SAFE amount of fetuses.
I'm
pro-Jessica who is FINALLY getting the strength to get away from her
physically abusive spouse only to find out that she is carrying the
monster's child.
I'm
pro-Vanessa who went into her confirmation appointment after YEARS of
trying to conceive only to hear silence where there should be a
heartbeat.
I'm
pro-Lindsay who lost her virginity in her sophomore year with a broken
condom and now has to choose whether to be a teenage mom or just a
teenager.
I'm
pro-Courtney who just found out she's already 13 weeks along, but the
egg never made it out of her fallopian tube so either she terminates the
pregnancy or risks dying from internal bleeding and horrific pain.
I’m
pro-Renee who developed eclampsia and in her third trimester and had to
terminate her pregnancy or else she and her much loved baby would die.
Also
pro-Lorraine who found out two weeks before her due date that her
baby’s heart wasn’t beating anymore, and had to be induced so she
wouldn’t develop a life threatening infection.
You can argue and say that I'm pro-choice all you want, but the truth is: I'm pro-life.
Their lives.
Women's lives.
You don't get to pick and choose which scenarios should be accepted.
It's
not about which stories you don't agree with. It's about fighting for
the women in the stories and the CHOICE that was made for them, by them.
Women's rights are
meant to protect ALL women, regardless of their situation - or how big
their bank account is. Because, let's face it, rich people's daughters
and mistresses (yes, even the ones who voted for anti-abortion bills)
will always be able to find safe abortions.
They
did before Roe v Wade. Most poor women will still get abortions too,
whether from centuries old, unsafe home methods or from opportunistic
untrained, unsafe people. Roe v. Wade didn't create abortion. It ended
poor, desperate women and girls dying from them and making decisions
about their lives.
